South Bay : LAX Officials Want to Spiff Up Airport
- Share via
Authorities at Los Angeles International Airport believe that the spirits of its global travelers need a lift.
The Los Angeles Airport Commission recently approved plans to jazz up the Tom Bradley International Terminal with a thundering waterfall, interactive videos and a gourmet food court. Oh, let’s not forget a sweeping grand staircase leading to a street-scene shopping arcade.
“Our goal is a more contemporary, festive and diversified look to the international terminal,” commission President Ted Stein Jr. said.
The cost of the project will not be released until the plan is sent out for bids, but Stein said the face-lift is expected to pay for itself within 2 1/2 years. Officials are hoping to turn on the waterfall and boot up the videos by June.
